I was using RSSOwl 2.1.2 and the latest Firefox version fine until last night
when I decided to update my Ubuntu to 12.04.
Now RSSOwl tells me it can't create a browser anymore, no matter what I set
for the browser in the settings.
I found http://www.rssowl.org/help#item_6j and
downloaded the XULRunner linked from there and put it under /opt/xulrunner.
Then I tried starting it with the following command:
But it still tells me the same thing and changing the settings still doesn't
have any effect either. I also don't see any errors in the console that would
suggest that something in my setup is wrong.
Is there any other info I can provide that would help solve my issue?
Thanks!
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The 2.1.2 Release should work fine on Ubuntu 12.04. It contains a private
xulrunner 1.9.2.x since RSSOwl does not (yet) support xulrunner versions >=
2.x. Which version of libhunspell do you have installed? Since every version
of xulrunner depends on a specific version of libhunspell, this could be the
reason.

you should be able to locate libhunspell with synaptics package manager or
with apt-get from command line. If it is version >= 1.3, you should create a
symlink from its current location to the same folder but with version 1.2,
just like this:
Works in 64bit Ubuntu 13.04 for 64bit RSSOwl but directories are wrong. If doesn't work for you, check directories for package libhunspell in synaptic. You need libhunspell-1.3.so.0 exact location. Here is my command:

worked for me in Fedora 16 where libhunspell-1.3.so.0 is located in
/usr/lib64.
If you have a 64Bit Ubuntu, your libhunspell 1.3 should be in /usr/lib/x86_64
/linux-gnu, so you will need to replace both paths /usr/lib64 with that:
(you will need higher privileges, e.g. sudo to do that. But think first if it
is the right thing to do)
Yay, that worked! Thank you very much, I can read my news again. :-D
I indeed had version 1.3.2-4 of libhunspell installed. The path is
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu but otherwise, yeah, worked exactly as you said.
